Pasta Preparation

Cook the Fettuccine
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente (usually around 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.

Grill the Chicken
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Place the chicken in the pan and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from the heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Make the Alfredo Sauce
